Letters to Max

Yes.....

I know he's spoiled.

I realize I have a problem. I know I am spoiling him.

But I cannot stop.

I might need counseling.

Hey. Like my new table. It's got cars.

Hey. I'm waiting to get a haircut. Not sure what that means, but it looks interesting.

Hey, wait a minute! What's going on here?!

Don't mess with me. I'm eating my 543573902570234750th cookie.

I like my new shopping cart. I like to go shopping.

It loses its luster after Feb. 17, 2009.

just driving because Grandma Ice locked us out of the house

She gave us keys that did not work to her house. On purpose.

sitting in my panties and slippers watching Meet the Press

Mr. Photogenic Take 2

I just woked up. Like my 'do?

I'm busy doing important things. Is $30000 too much for a titty?

Cuddling with Small Cow, I mean, Tammy

I'm funny. I have a bagel in my mouth. Hahahaha.

Mr. Photogenic

Yes, that is his foot on the table...

Dr. Evil

So, Mr. Max was scribbling and decided to put the crayons in his mouth. We tried to tell him "no" and get the crayons from him, as you can see, and this is what we have to deal with: a child that laughs and doesn't listen to his parents. Turd.

I'm pretty good at drawing things. Probably the best that I know of.

Just eatin' some olives out of my bus. What's wrong with that?

Oh yeah! Check out my bling!

Me in my fort.

I like ketchup, especially with Captain Crunch.

How do you do this trick or treat thing?

See what a hippie I am?

At the Homecoming Parade with Dad. I got lots of beads cuz I am cute and the ladies like me.

I got paint on my butt

Mama's helpin me paint

Just doin some sidewalk painting

I'm grumpy.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm swingin' in a tire!

Hey, moo-moo. My name's Mr. Max.

Hi!

Hey, look at me! I'm a farmer!

Why am I sitting with all these punkins?

Pettin' some goats at the pumpkin patch

Dirty face

Tilling the earth

sword-fighting

Brandon bringing the baby lovingly back into the house for a bath (post mud eating)

Just eating some mud

Playing in a puddle of mud

Night night.

Sitting in my chair.

This is me at 6:01 in the morning.

Oh, man. What a mess....

I'm pretty.

What? I'm just eatin' here....

Playing with my new toys

At the field hockey game drinking some DP

Max and the vultures

At the football game

All of my students were running up to Max saying how adorable he is. I think he should be the new UCHS mascot.

Max running around the stadium at the UCHS football game

Max and Brendan

Look at the vultures hovering around the baby eating a cookie (poor kid)

Playing with the door (he likes to open and close it 757204750275 times a day)

I think he got Mom's hair

Max's hair is normally quite curly in the back--he still doesn't have enough hair up front to curl. He's working the receding hairline look. It's all the rage in Paris.

Max carrying his woolly mammoth

Swinging at the park

Waving my fan at the parade

Everybody loves a 4th of July Parade

The new trick that Momma taught me--sticking out my tongue

playing on a Saturday morning (yes, I do have a bowl on my head)

eatin' ice cream

Me on my actual birthday

Eating birthday cake

I love my new wagon! It's the perfect place to put your feet up.

Eating hot dogs (with my foot on the table)

Check out my new ride (one of the, at least)

Look at all my new toys.

I liked my balloons.

I like my new intelligent toy.

making a dent in our presents

I don't think Max has enough presents yet.

Seriously.

an attempt at taking our pic before the concert

It's not a see-gar (it's a cookie--promise)

Crazy fun swimming

Crazy baby doing God-knows-what to the mesh of his playpen

Being a trashy half-naked baby with a scooter

How much is that doggie in the window??

See my toofers?

Damn the paparazzi

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Super fun swinging

At the park

Swimming in a sea of animals

Dimple cheeks

The bath tub is the most amazing place in the world (according to Max)

In my new wagon

Max and the Grass

Max, Dad, and Giraffe

Like my shades? I don't.

Max and Mom as Otters

Max, Mom, and Goat

Hence the reason for my vote. Note how both Max and Shelley have a vampire tooth.

What dog does Max look like the most?

There is absolutely no reason why our child would think he is a dog. No reason at all.

Momma and Max taking off our socks and cracking up about it

Check out the way I slept

Since Max likes to sleep on his tummy, he periodically gets giant creases in his face from folds in the sheet or something. I like this pic because he is still half asleep with a giant red spot on his little face.
